I'm very much tempted to try, i wonder what comes of it.

If you run any services (ssh, vpn, whatever) from your home connection you're probably making yourself into a target for counter scans

Mine got disconnected for about 30 minutes. Then I just calculated the rate I needed for the duration I found acceptable (one week for a single country) and let it run at this rate; no issue then.

>One wonders if your ISP would detect you running this thing, and kill your connection.

My home ISP just resets the router and let it reboot.

Doubt my ISP cares, but with 20Mb upload it's not going to send 10 million packets per second (2 bits per packet just isn't valid network traffic).

Your router is likely to die before you max out 10Mpps. Especially if you have a NAT, that'll probably be more reasonably close to 10-30kpps.
